A Tour Specialist Takes Off in a Hot Air Balloon in Cairns
Perhaps you have been to Cairns and the Far North before, visited the Great Barrier Reef and explored the Daintree Rainforest?
Here is the ideal experience to allow you to take in the stunning views over the fertile Atherton Tablelands and surrounding Great Dividing Range. Located just over 60 km to the West of Cairns is the town of Mareeba.
Hot Air Balloons over Atherton Tablelands
High on the Atherton Tablelands, this lovely FNQ country town proudly boasts 300 sunny days a year. These sunny days combined with the mild Tablelands weather makes this the ultimate departure point for Hot Air Ballooning.
No matter the conditions on the coast, it is a rare occasion that your balloon will not fly. Mareeba is known for offering the most consistent flying conditions and Hot Air Ballooning location in Australia.
With courtesy transfers from Cairns and the Northern Beaches included, or transfers from Port Douglas available for a small fee, a Hot Air Balloon Flight is an experience not to be missed.
The early morning start can be a little daunting but hey – you can just kick back and relax, napping your way to Mareeba or taking in the views as you travel to meet the sunrise.
Lift Off Time - Hot Air Ballooning
Watch as the crew prepare the balloons and launch the test balloons to ensure ideal conditions. You will then receive your simple safety instructions and climb into the basket ready for lift off.
The best thing about the early morning start is that ballooning allows you to greet the day and still have the chance to make the most of your time for the rest of the day.
For self drivers you could combine your flight with other activites on the same day such as Ballooning and a Great Barrier Reef tour or Hot Air Ballooning and Kuranda Village you may even decide to go from one extreme to the other – start your day with the slow burn of ballooning high above the Tablelands before jumping out of a plane high above the coast and skydiving!
Ballooning is a great choice for all ages. As long as you can comfortably get yourself in and out of the basket using the 3 small foot holds, and are over 120 cm high to see over the side during your flight, there is nothing stopping you from this unforgettable experience.
Enjoy 30 minutes of stunning views as you drift peacefully high above the Savannah and farm lands.
Book Your Spot in the Basket

Oh and by the way, Cairns is the cheapest place in Australia to experience a hot air balloon flight. This is because the weather is more ameniable and so they are able to conduct more take offs and landings which means more profits and savings for you.
